A YOUTH club in north County Durham is holding a family fun day to end the first week of an international summer camp.

A group of 15 young people from Hungary, Portugal, Spain, France and Italy are spending two weeks with 35 volunteers from Stanley Youth Centre.

The fun day, from 11am to 4pm, tomorrow, at the centre in Tyne Road, will see the visitors entertaining 150 children from the Stanley area.

Ron Harrison, the centre's chairman, said: "It is really great to see the young people enjoying the week so far.

"We have been doing this for years and it is amazing to think of the international friendships which have developed. I have even seen weddings between people who have met on the international play scheme."

The fun day will include a fortune teller, BMX display, pirate ship and face painting.
